The Annapurna range situated in central Nepal has one of the most dominating Himalayan panoramas. Placed just north of Pokhara the range from west to east consists of Annapurna south face (7219m), Fang (7647m), (Annapurna I 8091m, Rocnoir 7485m, Glacier 7193m, Dome 7069m, Gangapurna 7455m, Annapurna III 7555m, Annapurna IV 7525 and Annapurna II 7925m.
The Annapurna south face base camp is known as Annapurna Sanctuary, and in this trek we shall follow the route into the 'heart' of the Annapurna range. Further, the worry of tackling extreme altitudes is not a factor. The trek is best suited for early autumn or late spring, as the chance of the route getting snow -bound during the winter months is high.
